Nice problem! Stinks for black to be up that much material, but have a forced loss. Let's go Man U on Sunday against the blues!

wow the positioning of black's rooks were terrible...but I probably would not have seen the mate imediately...the hint that there is a mate helped a lot in finding it...but if I didn't know there was a mate, I probably wouldn't have seen it

Why wouldn't black just move his king up in the first place??

But no, instead he felt the need to let white sodomize him with a cactus all over the chess board..

Pretty good. Could have been done with less of the extra pieces.

Gary Kevin Ware the problemist of Chess Life Online has a great article on composing that is worth reading.

Good puzzle! Although there are too many unnecessary sacrifices...

If you mean 1. - Kb7, then 2. Rxa7+ Kxa7 3. Qa1+ and so on.

Nice puzzle, but easy.
